HANDOUT 6 -1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR CARIBBEAN HOTELS AND RESORTS Abstract A Case Study of Five Properties in Jamaica 1 Prepared by Bill Meade and Joe Pringle, PA Consulting Group 2 Hotels and resorts around the world are now adopting environmental management systems as a means of improving resource use efficiency, reducing operating costs, increasing staff involvement and guest awareness, and obtaining international recognition in the travel and tourism marketplace. This article examines the cost savings and performance improvements at five hotel properties in Jamaica that were among the first in the Caribbean to adopt an environmental management system (EMS). The five hotels evaluated in the case study, Sandals Negril, Couples Ocho Rios, Negril Cabins, Swept Away, and Sea Splash have achieved remarkable improvements in environmental performance, and accompanying cost savings, since implementing environmental management systems (EMS). 1 These results are outlined below and serve as direct evidence of environmental performance improvements that result from proactive environmental management. 2 Total cost savings for the five properties is estimated to be $615,500, or $910 per room. Between 1998 and 2000, the properties had a cumulative water savings of 41.4 million Imperial Gallons (IG); total electricity savings of 1.67 million kWh; total diesel savings of 169,000 liters; and total Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) savings of 259,000 liters. Expressing overall energy use in terms of kWh, 3 the total energy savings is 5.67 million kWh. Key Words Environmental management system, EMS, green hotels, sustainable tourism, operating efficiency, water, energy, solid waste, Jamaica, Caribbean, Green Globe. Background Environmental management in the hotel industry traces it roots to two major initiatives in the 1990s - Agenda 21 for the Travel and Tourism Industry and ISO 14001. Following the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, the World Tourism Organization and the World Travel and Tourism Council published Agenda 21 for the Travel and Tourism: Toward Environmentally Sustainable Development. Agenda 21 defines a broad array of environmental and social impacts associated with hotel operations and the principles for minimizing these impacts. ISO 14001 is the international environmental management system standard promulgated in 1996 by the Genevabased International Standards Organization. In 1997, the World Travel and Tourism Council’s Green Globe created an international standard and certification program for hotels and other 1 Published in the Journal of Quality Assurance in Hospitality and Tourism, Volume 2, No. 4 2001, Haworth Press. 2 PA Consulting Group, 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20006, Tel. 202- 442-2000, e-mail: tourism@paconsulting.com. 1
